Videogame Review, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels for the Nintendo Wii U (Japanese NES)

With plenty of time discovered for my eyes there’s enough gameplay for a hacker of sorts.  In fact, that’s largely the appeal to Lost Levels.  You’ll find some cruel, nasty pranks in the game.  Nintendo does offer different control schemes through the Mario Brothers even if I’m thinking their course designs are like cookies which came out of the oven a little too early: brittle, soft, and easy to mess up on.  A package like this is quite like one of those special edition DVDs.  Each course is really like holding something soft.  When gamers enter the 1st stage, on the 1st level, and have to do some kind of jumping error to get the mushroom out of the hole we’re sure there’s a lot of blundering on the way.  Super Mario Bros. was more confined in its definitions so that gameplay wouldn’t linger off the bend; however, Lost Levels (a sequel of continuation) basically thwarts the old formula for some dirty tricks of Nintendo’s on scrolling platformers.  Luigi jumps high and has a hard time stopping; Mario jumps low and breaks too easily; I’m referring those characters to the level designs because while those brothers would’ve done well on the first original, the cut-scenes sequel, in worlds and features of gaming, presents obstacles in such a fashion that I begin to wish they just altered both Mario Brothers for the better.  Besides that you’ll find awful cliffs and ledges which beckon the question on fairness and privilege.  At times I’m just taking shortcuts between levels because I don’t want to deal with those permanent barriers that put a wrench on the fun.  Oh yes!  This certainly won’t be a game you can return to after some time away from it when you’ve forgotten some of the things you’ve done.  Poisonous mushrooms are more of a chore than they should be.  In fact, after getting hurt by them over and over by moving my big Mario character around I began to think that the scrolling platform program would be more appropriate as a replay video as opposed to an actual game.  Certain types of video can only be replays; there can’t be gameplay to them.  Visual style is lacking, too- off and on you’ll find a few blemishes (or “improvements”) in the Mario program which barely make anything else noticeable.  The clouds don’t look happy.  Don’t they look creepy or what?  Many foxholes and tunnels will leave a gamer clueless even if he’s already had experience with an adventure like no other.  Remember that time you were figuring out how to jump onto the green tube from far below in the near beginning?  Man, who put those obstacles there?!  That’s a cheap joke and it’s as vulgar as it is annoying.  So overall this Mario game represents what’s indicated: “lost levels”.  The programmers had their heads so far up into the clouds that they forgot to make sense of anything here.  Many people in the Nintendo company feel that this Mario game is too hard and I’m right on the money with those guys.  Super Mario Bros. 2 was a lot better since I could actually finish the game and taste its rich content.  Lost Levels, on the other hand, acts more like a paradox to Mario’s adventures than a cute story for kids.  I’m telling you!  This game made me cry at parts and I wanted the whole thing to stop.
